Also note that you can set each media type to save to a different directory. get_iplayer --longhelp gives more details, but here is the relevant bit: --output, -o <dir> Recording output directory --outputliveradio <dir> Output directory for live radio recordings --outputlivetv <dir> Output directory for live tv recordings --outputlocalfiles <dir> Output directory for localfiles recordings --outputpodcast <dir> Output directory for podcast recordings --outputradio <dir> Output directory for radio recordings --outputtv <dir> Output directory for tv recordings Shevek _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
